<p>@ aust1nku: Congrats! I go to mt. sac too! Still waiting though. I’m not a CS major but I’m taking java right now because UCI requires it. I hate it =]</p>

<p>The good things is all Freshmen acceptances and Rejections went out today so now all they have to focus on is the rest of us transfers. I dont think it’ll be too long before we all know</p>

<p>^^I think it’ll be 2-3 weeks until the next batch. Last year, if I remember correctly, there was one in mid-March around this time and then the next one was early April.</p>

<p>I took a look at last yr’s ucsd acceptance thread and it took nearly a month before they released the next batch</p>

<p>@amidda: Do you think you would have gotten in with a 3.3 without a TAG? Your major isn’t impacted.</p>

<p>I think he would have. Going from a 1.0 to a 3.3 shows that he’s a hard worker and has learned from his mistakes. Colleges like to see that. Although I do think he got his decision this early because of TAG</p>
